Demons Raise Dollars for March of Dimes Once again, as in the past four years, Red Bank Regional's students participated in the March of Dimes' Haunted House held at the Seaview Square Mall in Ocean Township. This year our students, in cooperation with other local high school students, raised over $2,200 for the March of Dimes' battle against birth defects. Mrs. Renee Maxwell and Mr. Gil- bert Rambach helped the students design a room which ihoy named The Insane Asylum. The students donned their own costumes and applied make-up using techniques learned in Drama I class. Sophomores Andrea Purcell and Lisa Wynberg and Freshmen Sue Klenke, Rita Connor, Eric Simon, Bruce Steinert, Peter DeGroot and |ohn Senkleski partici- pated in the House for many hours while it was open from October 19 to November 10.

Semple and Donohue Dubbed King and Queen Although it was not quite the tur- key-trot that students were perform- ing on the dance floor of the cafete- ria on November 24 — two days after Thanksgiving — both alumni and current Red Bank Regional students alike clucked over the social suc- cess of Student Council's Home- coming 1979: Stairway to Heaven and its surrounding events. Many spectators at the Red Bank- Long Branch clash wore mums pro- vided to them by R.B.R. students via the school's Booster Club whose members sold the corsages for $2.00 apiece during the lunch periods of the days preceding the traditional Thanksgiving Day football game. Despite the Buccaneer loss of 7-8, spirits remained high as families jour- neyed homeward for turkey festivi- ties that Thursday afternoon. Then Saturday night the Home- coming dinner-dance, organized by Student Council Business Manager, Diann Chamberlain, served as the gregarious finale to that Thanksgiving weekend for the over seventy-five couples attending. Under the supervision of decora- tions chairperson Rachel Leheny and publicity chairperson Gwen Spencer, the cafeteria glittered with moons and stars which were symbolic of Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven. All attending found a large variety of food served buffet-style and pro- vided by volunteering parents under the direction of Mrs. Frank Hagen. The evening's music was provided by the local band, Applecore. Following dinner, chairperson Diann Chamberlain announced this year's Homecoming Court, whose members proceeded to dance to the theme song. Seniors Karen Donahue and John Semple were dubbed queen and king. Attending the queen were junior Kelly Connell, sopho- more Michelle Tuscano, and fresh- man Megan Kennedy.
